4 cups sugar
1 (12 oz) frozen concentrated orange juice
5 crushed ripe bananas
3 cups water
2 Tbs lemon juice
1 (48 oz) can pineapple Juice
4 qt 7 up or Sprite
Stir the 6 cups water and the sugar together and bring to a boil. Simmer until sugar is dissolved. Add to the other ingredients, except the 7 up or sprite, Put into container and freeze, (We usually save our plastic milk cartons, Cut off the tops for easy removal of the slush). Put plastic bags over then to "kinda" seal them until ready to use.
The day to be used, set out to thaw to slush. Or mix that day and freeze to slush. When ready to serve, put slush into punch bowl and add 7 up. Serves about 40 to 50.
